Discussion feeling like you're not important in anyone's lives?

[iwkmsssb]

i feel like everyone i've ever met in my life always has their person, and i'm just second rate or someone to pass the time with. i'm not in anyones top 10 friends and i haven't had a bestfriend in so long. i don't have childhood friends nor do people stick around me for long, just because of life. i'm so lonely and i feel like everyone leaves, what's the point in trying anymore.

i think loneliness and feeling like you aren't important to anyone should be considered a valid reason to be depressed and suicidal as an adult. i think it's hard for other people that don't deal with intense loneliness to be able to sympathize or relate to feeling like you could die without mattering, because it sounds like hyperbole to them. i'm jealous of people that have a best friend/friends/a partner even if they're depressed like me. i've lived my entire life feeling disposable and people assume i'm putting myself down or saying it for validation instead of believing me. i think that i'll always be a stepping stone or stand in for a person someone can relate to more. i don't think anyone can really care about me, even if they say they do. i can be replaced at the drop of a hat.

For me, it's not just a feeling; it's the truth: people don't find me interesting at all. On the rare occasions when they do, their interest is short-lived or comes out of necessity. It's partly my fault, though, because at some point I run out of things to talk about, mostly because my life is boring and the things I find interesting are niche. In addition, I have social anxiety which makes it very hard to get to know people. Only my mother cares about me.

there's nothing good or interesting in other people. socialization is overrated
